Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Nicely decorated and very close to golf course.
Negative: Have to pay an extra 15 euro pp for 45 minute use of the hot tub/sauna which may have other people there as well, so not even a private space. Felt like false advertising that they show this in all the pictures but don't mention the extra cost. The restaurant was closed until high season and nothing else was close by making it very limited and felt cost was too high without the restaurant being open for what it was. No common space/general amenities.
